Pence on Mueller investigation: ‘It’s time to wrap it up’
By Max Greenwood - 05/10/18 07:48 AM EDT


Vice President Pence on Thursday urged special counsel Robert Mueller to conclude his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, saying that doing so would be in the "interest of the country."

"What I think is that it’s been about a year since this investigation began," Pence said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show. "Our administration has provided over a million documents, we’ve fully cooperated in it and in the interest of the country, I think it’s time to wrap it up."

"And I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion," he added.

Pence said that the Trump administration has so far been fully cooperative with Mueller's probe, and that it would continue to be.

Mueller is investigating Moscow's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign sought to conspire with the Russians to sway the outcome of the presidential race. He is also looking into whether the president tried to obstruct the probe.

President Trump has privately and publicly bristled at the investigation, which he has called a "witch hunt" and a "hoax."

Mueller's probe does not appear close to ending, however. The special counsel is still reportedly aiming to interview Trump himself, though the president's lawyers appear reluctant to allow such a discussion.

12. I haven't believed for one second that Pence is out of the loop.

Pence is a sanctimonious fraud. He is a thick dolt, but he isn't some innocent sitting at the kid's table. Pence is full of shit. He knows exactly what is going on. I hope he goes down with the rest of them.

13. They are organized

Pence is an ass, of course, but this is how a party is supposed to operate. They are coordinated and on-message. They have been preparing the public for the (ridiculous) notion that the investigation has gone on "too long".

[CentralMass]

16. That is exactly how a mob syndicate should operate, not a political party.

If the party or Pence had any integrity they wouldn't be interfering with the investigation.

[unblock]

14. given the standards republicans set investigating hillary, there's another 24 years here....

[Guilded Lilly]

15. Wrap it up by using the proof that The Cretin, Pence, McConnell, Ryan and ...

countless others have willingly and willfully conspired, enabled, profited from Russian interference, money, manipulation to the detriment and treasonous damage to the U.S. and her citizens?
Sure, wrap it up in a beautiful prison orange bow and cart them all off to a community cell with a shared urinal.

[Orsino]

17. Just a little closer, Mr. Vice President. Please stand on the large red X...

...and speak directly into the ficus.

[spanone]

18. I didn't hear the pious one talking about bringing the Benghazi investigation to an end, did you?

STFU mike

22. One can hope...

I loved how Morning Joe kept playing Nixon's comments, stolen almost verbatim by Pence.
